► When Vince McMahon He regretted bringing back to CM Punk In 2018 or 2019
«I think the perception on Twitter and on the Internet is that I tried to return to WWE and they didn't love me, so I ended up doing the Fox program, Wwe Backstage. But that was not what happened at all.
«I had a clandestine, hilarious meeting, at the Borgata of Atlantic City with Vince McMahon and Triple H. I don't even know now … What year is it? 2025. This had to have been in 2018 or 2019, and it was simply because Vince started calling. I had agents who told me: 'Hey, they want to talk to you' and I said: 'Bah, I'm not interested', and then Vince started calling me directly.
«Vince said: 'I'm going to eliminate the intermediary!', And I was like: 'This is crazy', and it simply gave the chance that 'Oh, I will be in such a place'. 'Well, we can get there.' 'Ok, it's fine', and we had a meeting and made a word agreement … and then left me. So that's why it didn't happen. Incredible. Someday I'm going to write a book … It's a great story. It is a fantastic story.
«Yes, that was probably the first time that Triple H and I started to file roughness or leave behind the dramas we had in the past. That was the first indication … Yes, I was open to return at that time. I was very in plan of: 'Okay, SHARE ME, Whatever it is.' I took some things personally. Years passed. I already overcome it, I recognized that this is a business. Don't you want me to take it staff? Only pay me ».
